Rachael Rays Sunday Gravy And Macaroni Spaghetti Really Recipes

RACHAEL RAY'S SUNDAY GRAVY AND MACARONI (SPAGHETTI, REALLY)

Steps:

• Heat water for pasta to boil. Salt and cook pasta 7 to 8 minutes, to al dente.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Sauce: Heat a deep skillet or medium heavy bottomed sauce pot over medium high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Quarter the sausages. Add 1 tablespoon, 1 turn of the pan, extra-virgin olive oil to pan or pot. Place chops in pan or pot and brown 2 minutes on each side, remove. Add another tablespoon oil, 1 turn of the pan, and sausages. Brown sausages 2 minutes on each side and transfer to plate with pork. Add pepper flakes, chopped garlic and onion to the pot and sauté 1 minute - be very careful as the pepper flakes will burn pretty quickly.
• Add broth to the pan and scrape up drippings. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, water, sugar and herbs and bring sauce to a bubble. Add meats back to the pot and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer sauce until ready to serve, 12 to 15 minutes (this is the spot where you could really simmer the sauce for a couple of hours more or less if you wanted to).
• Meatballs: Combine ground meat, egg, remaining 2 cloves chopped garlic, 1/3 cup cheese, and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and roll into balls, 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Place balls on nonstick cookie sheet. Roast meatballs 10 minutes, then slide into Sunday sauce and turn off oven.
• To serve, place pork, sausages and meatballs on serving dish. Pour 1/2 of the sauce into a serving dish to ladle over pasta and meats at the table. Toss cooked spaghetti with remaining sauce in sauce pot, adding a few handfuls of grated cheese to the pot as you toss it. Transfer pasta to a serving dish.

BUFFALO TURKEY BURGERS WITH BLUE CHEESE GRAVY - RACHAEL RAY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the turkey, grill seasoning, hot sauce, chives, parsley and garlic. Form six patties.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with two tablespoons olive oil, two turns around the pan. Sauté the burgers about five minutes on each side, until cooked through.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook it for about 1 minute. Whisk the milk into the roux and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. When the milk comes up to a bubble and has thickened, take the pan off the heat and stir the blue cheese into the sauce in a figure-eight motion.
• To serve, place the top of the roll or a slice of rye bread on a plate, top with the burger. Serve with celery and carrot sticks and a cup of warm, blue cheese dip garnished with some chopped chives alongside. You can also drizzle some buffalo sauce over the top.
